  Acknowledgement Work in the McEwan Laboratory is funded by the Chief Scientist Office of Scottish Government: Grants ETM-258 and ETM-382. BE is supported by an Erasmus scholarship (D -JENA01). Introduction The equine placenta is a noninvasive transient organ, classified as diffuse and epithel

  2024-03-11

  

  Cell surface metalloproteases coordinate signaling during development, tissue homeostasis, and disease. A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) is a well-characterized member among ADAM family, which mediates the cleavage of various cell surface proteins (Black, 2002, Black et al., 1997, Dello

  Liver-specific AHR deficiency and energy balance In contrast to the amelioration of hepatic steatosis by global AHR deficiency, targeted knockout of Ahr in hepatocytes exacerbated it in B6 mice fed on a high-fat diet, without interfering with body weight gain [21]. This appeared to result from au

  In terms of the full-length proteins, it was noted early on that ACs have two cellular localizations: as integral proteins of the plasma membrane and as soluble proteins in the cytosol. Based on the distribution in mammalian sequences, it was initially proposed that subclass IIIa contains only membr

  Thymic expression of AChR Both linear unfolded epitopes of AChR subunits and the intact AChR are avidly expressed in thymus, particularly by thymic epithelial cells and myoid cells [17], [18], [19]. AChR-antibody positive MG patients often show thymic hyperplasia, characterized by lymphoid follic

  Several studies have recently used optogenetics to selectively activate various cholinergic neurons (Jiang et al., 2014). However, most do not explicitly report direct release of GABA from cholinergic fibers, with the exception of our two studies described above (Saunders et al., 2015a, Saunders et

  Introduction Dementia is a common disease in the elderly, and a significant source of disability, healthcare spending, and long-term care admissions. There is evidence to suggest that testosterone plays a role in cognitive functioning, and lower serum levels correlate with higher amyloid deposits (

  In this paper, we describe the formation of a structure-based pharmacophore which lead to the discovery of several hydrophobic, yet non-lipid inhibitors of ATX. These compounds docked within the same volume occupied by the initial non-lipid inhibitors of ATX used to build the pharmacophore. Violatio

  Introduction The first use of the term “autophagy” by a French physiologist, M. Anselmier, in a short article describing the effects of fasting in mice published in 1859, took place almost a century before Christian De Duve described it from a mechanistic point of view in a symposium on lysosomes i

  2024-03-08

  

  NO is an important mediator for maintaining bone integrity since it plays a role in the bone remodeling process. It was shown that mechanical strain and shear stress induce NO synthesis in osteoblasts and osteocytes (van't Hof & Stuart, 2001). It was reported that mechanical loading influences its a

  2024-03-08

  

  Atherosclerosis is a chronic lipid metabolism disorder linked with lipid accumulation within the arterial wall and subsequent formation of foam cells and vascular disease [96], [97]. The level of apelin is decreased in human atherosclerotic coronary arteries [4], and coronary collateral formation in

  The objectives of this study were to investigate 1) the mRNA and protein expression of apelin and APJ in porcine ovarian follicles of different sizes, and their immunolocalization and concentrations in follicular fluid and ovarian follicle, and 2) the direct effect of recombinant human apelin-13 on

  Although our sample size is not enough to conclude that there is no great genetic variation of the AR gene in most New World monkeys, it would be reasonable to state that the microsatellite region in the exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene of New World monkeys (platyrrhine) is relatively shorter th

  In the current investigation, we studied the effect of propofol on prostate cancer cells. Propofol is one of the most commonly used drugs in the critical care setting and for the induction of general anesthesia and moderate and deep sedation intraoperatively. Recent studies indicated that propofol e

  Our results lead to the discovery and characterization of VvAAT2, a gene potentially involved in acetate accumulation in grape berries discovered through amino-acid feeding experiments. Incubation with exogenous amino acids has also been a key in the discovery of new genes affecting fruit aromas [13
